I'm going to admit that it was a little too hot for this outfit, which would best be used for the transitional weather between summer and fall... and here in California we are not quite there yet. But I really liked how this came together, with the over-sized Minted Republic striped sweater, the Chicwish fringe bag and chunky Jessica Simpson booties = kind of cool casual. :)Don't forget about the Vivilli giveaway, which ends in about 5 hours! View it in this post here.

One last thing - the name of my post - I just changed it to one of my new fave songs.

I love the dipped back sweater! And especially the necklace. It looks so lovely paired with the stripes! :) Great look, Jess! p.s. i think my email to you might not have gone through...would you like to guest blog for me? It's totally cool if not, but let me know either way! :)Rorywww.WearAboutsBlog.com Floral headband giveaway! Peeko Apparel Ikat leggings giveaway!....and more (I have a new giveaway everyday this week)! There are currently 4 going on!

Wish I could say that it was a little too hot for that outfit. I´m looking forward to your birhtday outfit. I´m sure that´ll be a stunner. I think I´ve seen Mocha but another pic with her would be too cute :D

everything definitely did all come together at the end! those boots are awesome and they go with the fringed bag so well. oh and I LOVE the song too..it reminds me a bit of "Home" by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros- which is a song I could NOT take off repeat for a while when it came out! :P

Love it!!! I can't believe I totally forgot about fringe bags :/ What is wrong with me!?! Thanks for reminding me lol Lucky I was able to find a designer fringe bag (yea kind of a bagsnob lol) at one of my favorite online bag store the Luxury closet http://www.theluxurycloset.com/category-handbags/ysl-black-boheme-fringe-hobo Cute right? Can't wait to get my hands on it! Thanks again
